Doors that are built to last
Sundstabadet in Karlstad provides clear evidence that Thermod doors really do last over time. The facility's doors, which were installed 13 years ago when the municipal bathing facility underwent a complete rebuild, have maintained the highest standard in terms of both appearance and function despite the tough conditions.
In 2011, Sundstabadet underwent extensive renovation to become a state-of-the-art swimming facility with several pools, a relaxation area, gym and group training rooms. The facility also includes a large number of changing and shower rooms. Thermod was chosen as the supplier for the procurement, which was based on tough criteria in terms of wear and tear and exposure to moisture. Follow-ups after 13 years of continuous operation show that the doors really deliver what they promise.
Durable fiberglass laminates with aluminum frames have helped the doors retain their original finish without visible wear. The same applies to the hinges, locks and frames, which are still of a high standard in terms of both surface finish and function. The robust hinges and locks work flawlessly and the frames have retained their shape without being affected by the high humidity of the swimming facility environment.
Sundstabadet is a telling example of how the right choice of doors can contribute to a sustainable and long-term solution in public buildings. By combining functionality with an aesthetic design, Thermod has succeeded in creating doors that not only meet practical requirements, but also contribute to a pleasant and welcoming environment.
